[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention intends to provide a vehicle interior light that can obtain sufficient illuminance in the vehicle interior as necessary, or can easily improve the atmosphere in the vehicle interior by indirect light. .

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, the vehicle interior light according to the present invention includes a first lamp arranged to face the vehicle interior through a lens, a second lamp arranged apart from the first lamp, the first lamp and the above-mentioned lamp. The light emitting device includes a shielding member installed between the second lamp and a reflecting member installed near the second lamp and reflecting light from the second lamp toward the passenger compartment.

The vehicle interior light according to the present invention includes a first lamp arranged to face the vehicle interior through a lens, a second lamp arranged apart from the first lamp, and the first lamp. A shielding member installed between the lamp and the second lamp and a reflecting member installed in the vicinity of the second lamp, the reflecting member reflects the light from the second lamp, and the reflected light Is configured to illuminate the interior of the vehicle through the lens.

[0006]

[Action]

 Therefore, when the first lamp is lit, the light of the first lamp directly illuminates the interior of the vehicle through the lens, so that the interior of the vehicle can be illuminated with sufficient illuminance, and the second lamp is illuminated. For example, the light of the second lamp is once reflected by the reflecting member and then illuminates the vehicle interior as indirect light. Furthermore, the light reflected by the reflecting member from the second lamp and the light of the first lamp are the same lens. Since the interior of the vehicle is illuminated through the interior, the interior light of the vehicle can be made very compact.

 Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described by assigning the same reference numerals to the same portions. In FIGS. 1 and 2, a reflection plate 3 having an arc-shaped cross section is fitted and fixed in a hole 2 formed in a ceiling plate 1 of a vehicle. Inside the arc-shaped reflection plate 3, a first fluorescent lamp is provided. 4 and the second fluorescent lamp 5 are vertically separated by a shielding plate 6, and a diamond-cut acrylic resin lens 7 is installed below the first fluorescent lamp 4. On the upper surface of the shielding plate 6, a coloring plate 8 is detachably installed so as to surround the second fluorescent lamp 5.

A substantially flat plate-shaped reflector plate 10 is attached below the hole 2 so as to form a small gap 9 with the ceiling plate 1. A light emitting hole 11 is provided in the center, and the same skin material as the skin material of the ceiling plate 1 is adhered to the lower surface of the reflector plate 10 on the vehicle interior side, so that it looks good from the vehicle interior. Further, a switch 12 for interlocking with the vehicle door, a dimming switch 13, and a changeover switch 14 for both lamps 4 and 5 are attached to the reflection plate 10.

In this vehicle interior light, when the changeover switch 14 illuminates the first fluorescent lamp 4, the light passes through the lens 7 and is emitted as direct light from the light projecting hole 11 of the reflector 10 to the interior of the vehicle interior. Since the light is emitted, the interior of the vehicle can be illuminated with sufficient illuminance. When the changeover switch 14 turns on the second fluorescent lamp 5, the light passes through the colored plate 8 and is reflected by the reflecting plate 3, and passes through the small gap 9 between the ceiling plate 1 and the reflecting plate 10. At the same time as illuminating the interior of the vehicle as indirect light in the lateral direction, the cut surface of the lens 7 is illuminated and guided into the interior of the vehicle as indirect light from the light projecting hole 11 of the reflection plate 10, so that the atmosphere inside the vehicle is easily improved. be able to.

Further, the coloring plate 8 is appropriately replaced with another color, or the dimming switch 13 is used to adjust the luminous intensity of each of the lamps 4 and 5 in a stepless manner, so that the atmosphere in the passenger compartment can be simplified. It can be changed, and since both direct light and indirect light lamps 4 and 5 are integrated into one unit, the interior light can be configured very compactly. In particular, it has a great practical effect in vehicles where there are many restrictions on the installation of interior lights.

Next, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the bottom plate 20 attached to the ceiling plate 1 of the vehicle is formed with three streak holes 21, 22, and 23, and is formed on the top surface of the bottom plate 20. The cross-section arc-shaped reflector 3 is fixed, and inside the arc-shaped reflector 3, a first fluorescent lamp 4 and a second fluorescent lamp 5 are arranged vertically separated by a shield plate 6, Acrylic resin lenses 24 are installed in the holes 21 located below the first fluorescent lamp 4, while acrylic resin milky white lenses 25 are installed in the holes 22 and 23, respectively.

It has been burned.

In this vehicle interior light, when the changeover switch 14 turns on the first fluorescent lamp 4, the light passes through the lens 24 and directly illuminates the vehicle interior, so that the vehicle interior is illuminated with sufficient illuminance. When the second fluorescent lamp 5 is turned on by the changeover switch 14, the light passes through the coloring plate 8 and is reflected by the reflecting plate 3, and the illuminance is suppressed through the milky white lens 25. It is possible to illuminate the interior of the vehicle as indirect light, and by changing the coloring plate 8 or steplessly adjusting the brightness of the lamps 4 and 5 by the dimming switch 13 as in the above-described embodiment, direct illumination with sufficient illuminance can be performed. The light and the indirect light that appropriately raises the atmosphere in the vehicle interior can be appropriately supplied to the vehicle interior as needed.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the hole 31 is formed in the bottom plate 30 attached to the ceiling plate 1 of the vehicle, and the reflection plate 3 having an arc-shaped cross section is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom plate 30. Inside the arc-shaped reflection plate 3, a first fluorescent lamp 4 and a second fluorescent lamp 5, 5 are arranged laterally separated from each other, and the first fluorescent lamp 4 and the second fluorescent lamp are arranged. The shielding plate 32 is installed between the pumps 5 and 5, and the coloring plate 33 is detachably installed between the reflecting plate 3 and the shielding plate 32. Further, the coloring plate 33 is installed below the first fluorescent lamp 4. Acrylic resin lens 34 is installed in the hole 31 located, while the vehicle door interlock switch, dimmer switch and changeover switch for both lamps 4 and 5 (not shown) are provided on the bottom plate 30 as in the above embodiments.
